-All bombs have a bright red LED timer, and there are two different colors of wires and one of them will defuse the bomb and one will make it go off and the hero recites some nursery rhyme to pick which one and closes his eyes and snips one of them and it's always the correct one.

If the trailer mentions the bands featured on the soundtrack - the soundtrack music will suck donkey balls - as will the film.

If the trailer mentions that this movie is the biggest thing since <insert movie here> then it will also suck.

Similar to ones posted earlier but:
- When bomb builders use certain color wires that are universal. I would like to see a bomb with all black wires.
- When someone is about to get killed by someone with a gun, you hear the gunshot, and it turns out to be someone killing the person with the gun.

Yeah, what's up with that color-coded bullshit?
A real bomb would use like ribbon cable, with nothing to distinguish one lead from the other.
Shit, they may as well leave a note on the bomb saying: "To disarm, cut the red one."

When someone is shot, they fly back like they were pushed over, instead of drop like in a real gunfight.
Not even a .50 BMG (to the left)
will make you fly back. The mythbusters tested this.
Oh and when a car falls from even a slight cliff, or is on fire after an accident, it explodes as if it had a stick of dynamite taped to the gas tank.

mythbusters also tested out a few things that involve cars in movies...
I think they ran a series of tests on one poor, poor little car. (well, I say little, it was an old granny mobile they had to have found in a junk yard. Or borrow from Don vito)
Here's a cliche- they always use a car door as a shield. mythbusters showed most bullets going straight through the door
then the exploding car... they did a ton of things to try to get the car to explode... rolling it, shooting the gas tank, dropping it from a crane. all while it was running with gas... nothing. I think they finally had to load it with explosives to get it to blow up.
reminds me of that Family Guy episode where Peter was teaching Meg how to drive and she raced a horse carriage around a winding mountain road (another cliche! winding mountain road car chases!) and it fell off the cliff and the carriage exploded then the horse explodes. LOL

1.trying really hard to find the right keys for a car or door and open it before the killer gets you.
2. the one black guy.
3.women doing something that shows off there breasts like runs and porposly bounces them and the camera zooms in real close to the upper body.
4. the hero lives

or how about the keys to cell/handcuffs/whatever are always hanging just out of reach on a ridiculously huge key ring with one of those old fashioned "church keys"? Or tied to the sleeping guard's waist?

Another favorite of mine:
When someone sees a friend or relative of theirs in a dangerous predicament, and they yell out their name, as if that is going to do any good in saving them.

Women running madly away from mass murderers/monsters always trip over inconveniently placed roots/garden tools.

History says, Don't hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.

When a character makes a date to pick someone up at 9:00 and hangs up or leaves without getting the person's address.

Or they do get a phone number, and its prefix is 555.
